Unique one off prototype 20-40 Containerlifter.
Seen in this photo at its demonstration as new machine in the year 2000. The paint is now scratched somewhat but we can remedy as required.

After having seen years of service it is now an inexpensive 20'-40' containerlifter simply because it the manufacturer has closed his engineering business and therefore this containerlifter is an orphan without manufacturer support and to those who have the ability to support it, it can be seen as a bargain.

Should support ever be required most will need to be supplied from engineering services within the region of operation of operation.

But it has standard worldwide accessible Rubery Owen Rockwell (ROR) axles and suspension with twelve 1100 x 22.5 Tyres

It has a lifting capacity of 30 metric tonnes.

This containerlifter uses a combination of sliding chassis and sliding crane to change between 20' and 40'.

This lifter has been operated with a power take off driven hydraulic power pack mounted on the prime mover tractor, but if required we can fit a diesel engine driven hydraulic power pack.
